“In BOMB DOG, Andrew Higgins expertly weaves some fearsomely complex history into an irresistibly absorbing plot that unfurls like a runic scroll, revealing ever more secrets as it rolls out to a taut and dramatic conclusion. This novel is as thoughtful as it is propulsive, with a nuanced philosophical and religious sensibility that calls Graham Greene to mind, mixing the sacred and the profane as Earth-bound characters scrabble toward unflinching reality with an eye on redemption and the sublime. Throughout, Higgins channels the restrained emotional power of Hemingway’s memory-haunted protagonists. This is a powerful debut by a genuine talent.”
